McAfee predict that Adobe, Facebook and Twitter will be the top hacks for 2010. Amongst its other predictions, it also sees the emergence of a new vehicle for attacks in the form of HTML 5, an update to the Web markup language that will support delivery of online video and allow Web applications to run offline.
HTML 5 will blur the line between desktop and online applications. This, along with the release of Google Chrome OS, will create another opportunity for malware writers to prey on users,” McAfee said.
As the browser becomes an integrated part of the desktop and its communication language can access local resources, security devices such as firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems will be ineffective against these threats in 2010.
